Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group
Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.
Thirteen days after stopping a 21 year long 81mg aspirin therapy I felt a DVT begin in my leg. Has anyone else stopped aspirin and created a clot within a suspicious time frame?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I've researched and talked about aspirin therapy with several doctors, incl my hemotologist, and here's what I know: aspirin therapy is good for preventing arterial clots (i.e. heart attacks), not so much venous clots (i.e. DVTs, phlavitis). True, it doesn't hurt, but it's yet been proven to prevent venous episodes either.
I've been off coumadin for a month or so and have yet to start aspirin. I have "phantom pains" of where my clots were, but my doppler shows them to be almost gone.
